Car Displayed: 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Van 5.2L V8 Standard Passenger Van

The 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Van is a moderately easy car to maintain but it does have its share of problematic procedures. For instance, you will need to remove the entire bulb housing to access both the front turn signal and the tail lights—both of which are held on by multiple fasteners that may prove difficult to access. The spare tire must be lowered from underneath the vehicle, which is unintuitive design that does not facilitate ease of repair in the event of a flat.

However, the 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Van does have many high points. Its headlight’s housing can be removed reliably without the need for any tools. Its transmission fluid dipstick is quick to find in the middle of the engine bay, allowing you to check the fluid levels easily. Its brake fluid reservoir also has very open access, allowing you to reliably refill it when necessary.
